The Art of GitKraken

This gallery is dedicated to the artwork we feature on our home page. Each piece represents our passion for visual design, alongside the creative passions of each individual artist. We hope this gallery demonstrates that for us, technical mastery of software development doesn’t come at the expense of creative spirit and excellence.

Are you interested in producing artwork for our index page? We have an ongoing call for submissions which gives anyone with a similar passion an opportunity to show off their work.

Release 3.0 artwork by Codepen Artist

This animation was from an existing Codepen. Enjoy watching these tiny 'squids' making art with their colorful ink!

Release 2.7 artwork by Codepen Artist

This abstract art was adapted from a pre-existing Codepen. We love how the colors mimic GitKraken's graph, and every time you visit, a new pattern is created!

Release 2.6 artwork by Diane Lo

The mesmerizing squid-like animation you see, was adapted from this Codepen. The original had qualities reminiscent of a certain sea creature, but by adjusting the colors to match the GitKraken graph, and making other tweaks, it gained Keif's seal of approval.

Release 2.5 artwork by Kyle Smith

When poking around the art of Zach Lieberman, Kyle stumbled upon this paper. It describes a technique to use a shortest path algorithm to create sketch-like squiggly art from images, which look a lot like his own doodles. So, he reproduced their results and added an svg animation library to give it more style. Now it looks like it’s being drawn into the page by several people at once.

Release 2.0 artwork by Justin Roberts

The undulating wave of geometric forms in this piece is both organic and digital - the perfect environment for a Git Kraken. The angular mesh is reminiscent of the networks created by developers as they commit code. Always in flux, like the state of a Git repository, the rainbow color palette mirrors that of GitKraken’s commit graph. This piece was modified from an animation discovered on CodePen.

Release 1.0 artwork by Axosoft

The Axosoft team wanted to create an abstract video that reflected GitKraken's colorful graph. Playing on the theme of a Kraken, we captured multi-colored inks branching and mixing in water. Compositing the footage with motion graphics created dynamic visualizations of basic Git commands. Learn More »
